As product scouts for Kaufweise, we see dozens of offers every day. Most don't truly excite us. But recently, this electric wine cooler caught our eye. The idea sounded brilliant: compact, stylish, and capable of chilling two bottles of wine to the perfect temperature. We were skeptical, so we ordered a unit to test. What we found first thrilled us – and then shocked us.
Our test unit in action: The design was an instant win. But could the technology keep up?
First Impressions: More Than Just a Cooler
Right out of the box, it was clear: this isn't some cheap plastic gadget. The cooler has a premium feel, and the matte black housing is a real eye-catcher. With its compact "mini size," it's not a clunky appliance but a stylish accessory that fits seamlessly into the kitchen, onto the patio, or in the camper van.
The Tech on Trial: Why You Won't Want to Miss It
The elegant exterior is one thing, but we wanted to know if the internal specs deliver.
-
Perfection at the Touch of a Button: Whether it's a crisp white at 8°C or two bottles of rosé for a girls' night in – the intuitive LED touchscreen lets you precisely set your desired temperature for the entire cooling chamber. Every drop a delight!
-
Silence You Can Taste: The core is the modern semiconductor chip cooling. Instead of a loud compressor, pure technology is at work here. The result: the device is whisper-quiet and completely vibration-free. Perfect for not disturbing your wine or your evening peace.
-
Protection for Your Treasures: The elegant, tinted window blocks harmful UV rays. Thanks to the 360° cold air circulation, the temperature is maintained precisely and efficiently. Your wine's aroma and quality are optimally preserved.
The Shock: How Other Sellers Are Ripping Off Customers
After being completely convinced by the quality, we started our price research – and what we saw angered us. On Chinese platforms, the same device is offered at prices that seem okay at first glance. But then come the hidden costs:
- Product Price: €174.69 + €72.77 Shipping = €247.46
- Product Price: €207.39 + €113.67 Shipping = €321.06
For us at Kaufweise, it was clear: this is unacceptable. A great product shouldn't become a price trap due to outrageous fees. That's why we decided to add this wine cooler to our own collection – at a fair price of just €159. That's a savings of at least €88 for you!

No long speeches – this short video we made with our test unit shows the cooler in action.
Conclusion: A Brilliant Gadget and a Clear Mission
The electric wine cooler passed our test with flying colors. The decision to offer it ourselves was the logical consequence of the unfair pricing we discovered elsewhere.
